Alquid at the ALMA UK Half Day Conference — Leeds Wrap-Up

Alquid joined treasury and risk professionals in Leeds for the ALMA UK Half Day Conference to discuss the key forces driving balance sheet management, liquidity policy, and AI adoption in the UK market.

The agenda delivered critical insights across four main areas:

• Economic Outlook: Signs of recovery in the UK economy, with real wage growth outstripping inflation and a constructive macroeconomic outlook for institutions.

• AI in Treasury: Honest discussions from industry leaders on scaling AI in day-to-day ALM decision-making, highlighting both current progress and the path ahead.

• Regulatory Policy (CP5/26): Debates surrounding the Bank of England's liquidity framework consultation and its practical implications for institutions with diversified deposit bases.

• Integrated Risk & Finance: Strong consensus on the need to move away from siloed management of liquidity, capital, and IRRBB in favor of unified, single-lens balance sheet platforms.

For Alquid, the conference provided an invaluable opportunity to stay close to the UK banking sector, exchange views with industry peers, and reinforce our commitment to building solutions that solve real-world ALM challenges.
